The Loose Association of Wargamers

This is a question for the wrinklies.......

Has anyone knowledge of, or even a copy of, a set of rules written by Brigadier Peter Young for the ECW and based on his 18thC Charge rules?

They were very much generic 'Horse & Musket', though the games portrayed in the book were 18th Century 'Imaginations'.

Sorry, Iain, I have to say I had never come across the ECW variant before.

No.

I'm guessing that you know about his history book of the ECW written in the 1970's, often re hashed/edited under different titles and formats later on? There's no rules in there but it does add to the distinct possibility that there are some somewhere.

Peter Young wrote an article in the Bayonet (Magazine), Volume 3, No. 1 ,, December 1969. It covered the organisation of wargame units for the ECW.

The organisation he proposed was 18 each of pike and musket with additional officer figures. This is very similiar to the organisation used in the old Bayonet Publication rules.



I not sure he ever adapted the Charge rules for the ECW although I am sure it could be done

I'm very much obliged to the wrinklies.

It looks like it will remain a mystery, or myth.
